"Peaceable Kingdom, like many of Sapience’s works, is not merely a dance performance but a mixing of artists, communities, and ideas. Seder hopes this work will be accessible not just to dancers or singers, but also to a larger audience of people who are interested in the questions and philosophies the music brings forth." - Seattle Dances 2013

"“Really sizzling.” -Plank Magazine 2011

 

“Birds entangled in a giant spider web…[their] dance formed human sculptures and intricate forms.”-Van Music 2011

 

"She reeled through impressive backbends to stand as if hovering on the edge of a precipice…one dancer cocooned herself in white fabric, becoming an amorphous larvae wriggling mesmerizingly to the sound of insect feeding noises.”  -Seattle Dances 2011

"Something for every kind of dance lover."
